Madonna's adopted daughter Mercy has reportedly reunited with the superstar in London.
Chifundo "Mercy" James flew from her native Malawi on a private jet headed for London, the AP reports.
An airport employee and a person familiar with Madonna's adoption proceedings said the 3-year-old left late Friday. She was reportedly accompanied on the flight by a nanny, a child nurse and a third assistant.
A week ago, Malawi's highest court overturned an April lower court decision and ruled that the 50-year-old Queen of Pop could adopt Mercy. Madonna adopted son David Banda from Malawi in 2006.
Mercy should have reached London, where Madonna has a home, Saturday morning, the AP reports. She will join Madonna's other children, David, 3, Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, 8.

Star Justice
A residency law in Malawi has prevented Madonna from adopting a second child there. The residency requirement for prospective parents is 18 to 24 months.
People reports Madonna "kept wringing her hands" after her Malawian lawyer broke the news to her. The 50-year-old superstar filed adoption papers for 4-year-old Mercy James on Monday and was not present in court.
At the hearing, the judge said child welfare officers are required to find suitable prospective parents and "not someone who just flies in and out." In terms of the child, "I think the welfare of Chifundo [African for 'Mercy'] will be better served if she grows within the environment of the culture of Malawi," she said.
Other reports had the judge concerned about others wanting to take advantage of non-residency laws to traffic in children.
Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula says he has "filed notice for appeal in the Supreme Court of Appeal."
